    Deleted Admin account. Want to recover it.


    My first admin account after building my computer was a school account that was not a microsoft account or a local account. I used a PIN to unlock the computer. I decided to change the PC from using a school account to a local account. I then created a new local account and made it admin. Then I went to settings, accounts, access work or school, and then disconnected my school account. Then the PC restarted and all my settings, preferences, and apps were deleted. It made it so I was a different admin. I want to go back to my old account so I keep all my settings and apps I already installed. When I go to the C:\Users\, I still see my old account folder there. Nothing was deleted. I want to go back to that account but I can't login using the old admin account. Thank you for your help. Windows 10 Version 1909

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.
